A good idea from Marklin, because this livery never has been reproduced by any manufacturer in HO scale. At the same time Interior design + interior colors changed as well...

Joined: 10/08/2009(UTC) Posts: 3,443		For RMW. Greetings Maikel, Please also see my comments in the topic referring to your layout. In one of the pictures you submitted i spotted a NS 2400 series diesel loco sticking its head out of a small locshed. Either this is a Roco AC loc or it is a new M 2011 item ?1?! Funny enough,the loc shows a M type coupling,rather different from the Roco AC coupling. Roco has issued numerous versions of this loc series over the years,as well as for its sister,the NS 2200 series. I am sure M could do a much better job! Would be nice if M would issue a set of 1 pcs 2400 and 1 pcs 2200 series for the Dutch market. These locs carried the bulk of all freight traffic by rail for years and years,many times in multiple traction. I would be grateful for your comments. Paul.

Joined: 21/07/2003(UTC) Posts: 1,358 Location: Houston, Texas		I must say that I'll be very excited to order the new impressive Insider model, the BR 50.40, and its associated freight car sets, as well as the new tooling BR 042. The new BR 216, hopefully in full metal jacket, will also be on my list. Personally, I couldn't possibly be bothered about the all-plastic Thalys, just like I was not in the least impressed with the all-plastic TGV, Gläserner Zug, Kittel and likewise similar overpriced IMO "second-rate toys". Märklin = metal construction, and hopefully this will continue to be the trend now that the company is solvent again. One sad exception is the overall disappointing PRR F7, which despite being made completely of metal, seems to originate from the Jurassic in terms of detailing. This should not be acceptable anymore in this era of advanced technology. A new tooling of this model is therefore desirable. The Märklin Insider Club states that the first announcement of this year's models will be made just after the Nüremberg Fair in early February. I can't wait...

We discussed about the cost of developing new tooling before... it need to sell at a very good numbers in the first few years to recoup investments. I think Lollo just doesn't have enough of a universal appeal to develop both completely new metal chassis and body. It can use a BR218 frame to cut cost, but if the end result will be a model that would be heavily criticized for being too out of proportion anyway, why bother? Better to use the already available old tooling and sell cheap..

Although this model has not yet been revealed as a 2011 New Item, the chances are very good that such a model will be released in the next few years. The only real question is whether the Re 6/6 will be released on it's own, as part of another Re 10/10 Set, or in a Start Set or Consist Set with some coaches or cars. Among the items that have leaked, a Swiss Freight Set, supposedly with a Re 4/4II (Re 420) is mentioned. It is not clear whether this will be a Re 420 in Cargo colours or perhaps a new model in red. I guess that we will have to wait a few weeks for the official release of all the information about the New Items. Other candidates for coming Swiss models would include Re 4/4I in red, 6 unit RAe Gottardo (50th Anniversary of the Gottardo) as well as the Ae 6/6 with the modified wipers and railings in red.

Thanks Mike ! Ah yes.... the Gottardo ! Indeed ! I remember seeing that train running in Belgium many years ago, when I was a kid and being fascinated by its unusual setup without a hauling locomotive. I even used to sometimes go on board while it was waiting at the Brussels station just to look around. I managed to go for a trip on it in Switzerland 2 years ago since they rebuilt it. The trip went over the mountains through the Simplon tunnel to Domoddossola in Italy then back along the Geneva lake. What a great and emotional experience ! Enough nostalgia, I guess :-) Since they did make the Grey Mouse with the 6th car that was missing on the Gottardo, I must admit that I was surprised that they had not already issued the 6th car extension for the Gottardo as they have done for many other train sets.... Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see and hope !

There were only three BR05, but Marklin made two different models from it - streamlined and non streamlined. Another example is BR10 - only two were ever built.

Notice the subtle difference between Roco starter sets and Marklin starter sets. Roco offer the option of a number of super premium models in their starter - like the BR03.10 (41307) and E10 (41275) sets. Their sets are therefore used as a showcase for some of their best models. Once you're impressed with such quality, the strategy says, it'll be easy to hook you up with the rest of our range. These offers tell customers that Roco is solely focused on creating best European models. Controllers, arguably, are of secondary importance. Marklin starter sets OTOH seems to have been designed to showcase their digital system first and foremost. Once you're hooked to our digital system, you'll be so impressed you want to stay on, then we can start selling you other stuff. New customers must not be shown their absolute best models. DCM models made up 50% of the offering, crucially, the mid-level sensible offerings - these may not make very good impression on new customers IMO, and if they don't, they'll assume the rest of Marklin range is crap. BR44 + E10 will be their absolute premium offering, but not many people would be impressed with their 1000+ Euro price. Again, remember that the focus is to introduce the super premium CS2...

It can be made to run quietly, parts are freely available, it is simple to fix and this is something many users can do themselves. A wire recently came off my SDS powered 37772 SVT 04 railcar, and in the process it blew a driver IC. Although I spotted the loose wire, no way could I have known what else was wrong (although I knew something else was wrong). Dion was able to fix it without sending it back to Marklin, because he happened to have on hand a board with that very IC on it. Consequently, the railcar was returned to me after 2 months rather than 6 to 8 months waiting for Marklin to fix it. The point being, that SDS although nice motors, are not generally user fixable, whereas DCM certainly are. This is something that worries me a lot, being so far away from the Mother Ship.

I think they are an introduction to the hobby. They should be affordable, such that they could be a Christmas or Birthday present. The premium starter sets are already very expensive, including as they do a full function digital controller like the CS2 and two complete train sets. If they were to include in the sets the highest specification locomotives it would increase the cost even further. The phrase "leave them wanting more" I think is the best policy here.

Hi Dave, being a late newcomer, it was quite a steep learning curve for me when I started, but nowadays I can about fix anything too with DCMs. I'm glad that I stayed, since Marklin do make better models than the ones I got introduced with. Had 99% of the range are still made up of DCMs, I would have sold off everything and convert to Roco. The problem is, customer trend is changing. This is an era where people takes convenience and refinement over anything else. They want everything to be perfect, no hassle, and has the upmost refinement. Many people just aren't that patient enough to want to tinker with DCM designs. I've said this before, since this is an open motor design, there's a lot of things that could go wrong during assembly. Little things, but they will frustate the hell out of still clueless new customers that just bought an expensive, brand new Marklin starter set. Noisy, uneven running, ergo a lemon, they thought. Click eBay, and never look back. What is the percentage of these? We'll never know. Most of them might not even bother to look for answer here, for example. But where is the support from Marklin themselves? These motors are not for beginners IMO.

Ray, I think the premium sets from Marklin are already too premium as they are. I haven't seen anyone else selling a starter set at that price...

What I mean is, a full bore two train CS2 start set should not have to cost the sum of its components individually. Other than getting everything in one box there is no incentive for a new or existing Marklin user to buy it. The same goes for a more entry level set. What I admire Bemo for doing for years is offering start sets at a significant discount from what all the components list for. They essentially sell off older/existing inventory by tossing it in a set. You typically get about $500+ worth of components for $350. This makes them an attractive proposition for both collectors and new entries to the hobby who get top of the line equipment for a discount. On the back end, Bemo moves exra inventory so everyone wins. They only offer about 4 sets so there is still plenty in the range for others to expand and Bemo to make full margins on...

If they were to include in the sets the highest specification locomotives it would increase the cost even further. A "naked" CS 60214 without power supply cost more than those old premium start sets with a CU 6021 and two digital trains. The new premium sets are 3x the price of the old sets. When I got back into the hobby, I was looking for a 200 Euro starter set. These expensive sets are rather "upgrader sets" than "starter sets", I presume. A starter must be very enthusiastic to begin with a 1000+ Euro set. Originally Posted by: RayPayas The phrase "leave them wanting more" I think is the best policy here. Don't leave them disappointed on the other hand. Some locos with a sound decoder are a joke considering the noise coming from motor and/or gear.
